Update of bug #60482 (project octave):
Status: None => Need Info
_______________________________________________________
Follow-up Comment #9:
First question, should Octave emit an error for "char" data? Or should it
just convert the data to numeric and continue? Octave already behaves that
way for logical data where it converts true/false to 1/0 automatically.
For reference, Matlab converts logical but gives an error for "char" data. We
could choose to be Matlab-compatible here, but I don't think we have to be.
Octave is a superset of Matlab and if it does more than Matlab that is okay.
Could ask this question over on maintainer's section of Octave Discourse if we
want more confirmation.
